Famous quotes containing the words irving and/or friedman:

    Luxury spreads its ample board before their eyes; but they are excluded from the banquet. Plenty revels over the fields; but they are starving in the midst of its abundance: the whole wilderness has blossomed into a garden; but they feel as reptiles that infest it.
    —Washington Irving (1783–1859)

    The mystery form is like gymnastic equipment: you can grasp hold of it and show off what you can do.
